Worst CD cover

Metallica-Metallica (the Black album)

Can anything be this boring?

True, but at least it's not butt-ugly like St. Anger

 

[Naggamanteh]

WACO JESUS - FILTH

Not sure if it's good or bad but it is a bit too much even for me.

 

[Raumien]

Youthanasia was probably my least favorite MEgadeth album cover actually.

Iron Maiden's Dance of Death cover = Really really really bad

Most of the covers by Dan Seagrave, Andreas Marshal, and Travis Smith = Really really really good

Yuck! Well, I´m certain that this band is so bad and not talented at all.
That´s why they need such crappy covers!

 

[Hammer of Might]

One I just found, so searched for this thread...

American brutal death band band RETCH (on Unmatched Brutality Records) - the cover for their album Ben-Wa-Baby Heads!!!!!

Damn, that image worked when I first posted it, but now it appears that metal archives owns me! Alas.

Well, just look it up on metal archives, it is defnitely an extreme cover.

I like Yngwie's "Trilogy" cover. Slaying a three-headed dragon by means of fire shooting out of your guitar would kick some serious ass. It's borderline cheesy, but I think it's still pretty cool.
